Dyckerhoff Ukraine intends to use briquettes of household fuel as waste at its Volyn Tsement plant in Zdolbuniv, Rivne region.

Ukrainian News reported the company’s head of ecology, Roman Naumenko, as saying that the alternative fuels usage will start by September this year at a cost of EUR2.6m.

The waste will be sorted at a waste processing plant in Rivne and be delivered by trucks to the cement plant. It is expected that the new initiative will reduce production costs by 20 per cent.
